Not sure how to use an ATM? Most ATMs today provide easy-to-use onscreen menus. Simply insert your card into the ATM slot and you’ll be directed every step of the way. Although every ATM is different, here’s an example of a basic ATM transaction:
Insert card |
Insert your card into the ATM |
Enter PIN |
Enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN) |
Transaction type |
Select your transaction (i.e. withdraw, deposit, transfer, check balance) |
Amount |
Enter the amount in dollars and cents, if applicable |
Additional transactions |
Select “Yes” or “No” when asked if you want to perform another transaction |
Receipt |
Once the transaction is complete, wait for your receipt and your card |
Save and review |
Save your receipt and review your monthly account statement to verify the transaction |
Making an ATM deposit? Place your money in a deposit envelope before you start your transaction (envelopes are usually located on the side of the ATM). Fill out the required information on the envelope including deposit amount and account number. When you select the “Deposit” transaction option, follow the onscreen prompts, which will direct you to insert the envelope into a special slot.
